Day 23

[Mariposamath]

This is day 23, 5 hatched and 4 did not. While check viability before getting rid of the 4 I can hear taping in one egg. I don't see and eternal pip. What do I do now? Thanks for any help.

In my personal experience those that did not hatch most likey will not. If you can hear taping still in that one egg I would get him out NOW. But that's just me. My clutch just hatched yesterday and I got 14/18. The 14th chick I had to help get out because he was drying out and getting week. Now he's out and thriving. If I were you I would help out the tapping chick. But if you see ANY blood STOP. Hope it all works out and congrats on your new chicks

Thank you. Should I start at the air sack?

 

[Grima]

Yes. Candle the egg and find out where the egg sac starts and pip right there. Go slowly. It's worth a shot cause he probably most likely won't hatch on his own. He needs your help! Keepme updated please

I started the Pip. The egg was not viable . This hatch has been so stressful. Thank you for your help.

Ya they are stressful I agree. But worth it. I just hatched 14/18 it's very rewarding!
